"We are thrilled at the recent momentum we've been able to generate around the brand," states Tom Joyce, CEO of Montauk Distilling.
Joyce continues, "We set out in 2013 to create a new spirits brand with a focus on craftsmanship from day one – as we handcraft, distill and bottle our products in small batches yielding exclusively unique taste profiles. It has been nothing short of a journey to get to this point, and we believe we're just beginning to see first-hand the true potential that lies ahead for Montauk Distilling in 2025 and beyond."
Our 'MVPs' remain our Modico Vodka, premium spirit at a great price and our Montauk Gin, arguably the best tasting gin made in America. Of course, the rest of our family of spirits, superb bourbons and rums, also draw people to our Riverhead tasting room year-round.
Our award-winning spirits are available through Opici Family Distributors in NY and CT; McLaughlin and Moran in Rhode Island, and Community Craft Spirits in Florida as well as online.
About Montauk Distilling
It is our love for the water and storied beaches of Montauk, Long Island—known to locals as "The End"— that has led to the birth of the Montauk Distilling Co.
Started in 2013, MDC is family-owned-and-operated at a small scale.
We salute the rich history of the distillation craft, all the while bringing a fresh, new approach with locally-sourced botanicals. We aim to turn our traditional liquors into bolder, stronger-flavored spirits that evoke the spirit and legacy of our Montauk heritage.
Our ambition is to become a leader in craft distillation and a "drink local advocate" from Montauk to Manhattan and beyond.
As a part of the Riverhead community, we take pride in providing a family friendly atmosphere where people can come to listen to live music and receive education about the building's history. We offer tours of not only the distillery, but also the firehouse itself. With live music, education, food, and—of course—spirits, we hope to provide a space where everyone, young and old, can come to appreciate, and live, the Montauk life.
